Good point about the runway usage, it makes some sense but I don’t recall if I’ve ever seen them do that in Toronto.
Of course many days it is just frost sprays, so an aircraft that had a quick turn may not need to spray, whereas an overnighter would have to spray. So some are going to the CDF, others aren’t.
And the point Acey made about potential gate delays is a good one. However the situations I have witnessed like that have been seldom in YYC, vs much more frequently being able to just do a quick spray at the gate and save a bunch of time. But it is definitely an issue on occasion, anyway.
